3 players who may join Manuel Pellegrini at West Ham this summer

#2 Salomon Rondon (West Brom)

Rondon's side were relegated at the end of the league campaign

Rondon is another player who has reportedly attracted Pellegrini's interest. The new manager is keen to sign the striker following West Brom's relegation to the Championship this term. However, they are not the only interested club who are lurking - as both Watford and Cardiff City are said to be monitoring his situation at present too.

Due to a relegation release clause in his existing deal, Rondon is available to sign for just £16million and it would not come as a surprise if the forward were to outline his desire to remain in England's top tier ahead of the new campaign.

This fee is an easily affordable one for Premier League clubs to part ways with and despite not scoring as frequently as he would have liked on a personal note, Rondon still managed to net 10 goals in 40 appearances - more than any West Ham player, barring Marko Arnautovic (11 in 35).

The 28-year-old can serve as a threatening presence from set-pieces and is also able to hold play up well, linking other teammates into attacks and creating chances this way. With this in mind, Rondon represents an affordable option who the Hammers should consider signing.
